“self is non-binary in Texas. Do not do not fool yourself. Okay. So, what are these issues? We talked a little bit about the Iran war, a little bit about affordability, whatever. Another big issue in the campaign is uh the AI data centers. AI generally is a big issue. People are concerned about AI. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, a very very grounded and wise politician, Mike Johnson comes out and he says, you know, a lot of the anti- AI data center stuff that you're seeing online that you're hearing from the podcasters, for instance, a lot of that is Chinese propaganda. Um I mean do you think that this with regards to China I mea”

“d up this November and we're going to put an end to the presidency of Donald Trump as we know it. We will take this country back. The guy is sitting there podcasting and he's telling the president to do his job as he's doing a podcast. You cannot make this up. He's asking where J.D. and Speaker Johnson are. They're actually just being normal people with brains. That's where they are. That's what they're actually listening to what Trump actually said and understanding it like normal humans instead of being overreactive spaz bags like you. You're a spaz bag on his podcast”

“>> This is what Democrats do every election cycle. they find something to, you know, glob on to and say that this is doom and gloom and everyone will die if we don't win. Don't buy it. It is a Chinese scop. I really believe that. It's not a conspiracy theory. I think they're pushing those ideas. It is a Chinese scop. Mike Johnson is totally right about that. The Chinese are definitely pushing the anti- AI messaging in the United States. And they're doing that because we're in a war with China to see who will develop AI the fastest and in the most effective way. This is a kind of arms race like we had with the Soviet Union in the Co”

“59.350 --> 00:29:29.350] There is no single federal, uh, effective tax rate for anyone who makes over 250K. It's progressive. So it says, uh, 32% over 201,000, 35% over 256, 37 over 640,600. And if you're filing jointly, it's 37% over 768,700. Interesting. I got a question. I'd like America.gov to answer. Sure. Why is Mike Johnson bad? Why is Mike Johnson bad? Because you can ask it about government employees. I, it didn't have any info on me, but it can tell you about them. I don't give political opinions or commentary, including whether any member of Congress is good or bad. Ooh, I like that. Okay.”

Most critical quotes

“how, so I just wanted to point that out before we get started. What an insult to the intelligence of every human being that watched that clip. Not only, you know, Jake Tapper, who's sus, as the kids say, a little suspect. [SPEAKER_03] No pushback at all. A little bit, not much. But MAGA Mike Johnson might be one of the most objectionable losers in the history of the United States and the political ecosystem with which we are currently being held hostage by. Watching him try to justify a $5,000 payout to every adult American, which you will never get, ladies and gentlemen. It's what a con man does. Put”

“And even less than the element of surprise, they don't have the element of competence. [SPEAKER_04] I mean, this is literally Jimmy Breslin and the gang that couldn't shoot straight. It would take a coordinated, sophisticated, well-wiled machine to not see 10 duly elected Congress. Not Mike Johnson. He's stupid enough to do fucking anything. I mean, you don't have to worry about it. [SPEAKER_03] Well, he'll do what Trump tells him. Yeah, he'll do whatever he says. [SPEAKER_04] He's a moron, and he's a 20-pound weakling. But man, and ther”

“>> I know. I'm a lawyer. Okay. But he has every single branch of government. This Congress because it is run by such incompetent, stupid people and they are in the majority. They have done nothing in the government except shred voting rules and take deserving people that are poor off of benefits, 40% of which comprise Mike Johnson's district. So I would say the only thing he has to do in life that he's ever done is be in Congress. He is completely and utterly unemployable in any other way in my opinion. >> I think uh God wants him to push a mower down in Shreport when it's about 105 degrees for the rest of his life. You know, it's g”

“ten to that shit? [SPEAKER_02] Furious. Because Mike Johnson, when Mike Johnson not protecting pedophiles, ignoring wars that shouldn't be going on, ignoring sicknesses in children that he should be stopping with his powers over the House, or anything else productive for Louisiana. Like Mike Johnson kicked off his speakership in 2025 by cutting health care and closing Louisiana hospitals. [SPEAKER_02] And he's still, to this day, lying about improvements to America as a whole that he has never done in any way, shape, or form. Like, their whole platform is based on speak”

“takes us to the lowest common denominator every time. Chaos and cruelty. How about the corruption that we're seeing from him every day? The kind of corruption that led to him and his spoiled kids putting $2 billion in their pockets. [SPEAKER_08] And more from Governor Shapiro about MAGA Mike Johnson. Let's play this clip. [SPEAKER_02] Do that. And you've got the power to decide what the Congress of the United States looks like. So think about it. You've got the power to help us get more stuff done here in Pennsylvania. And you've got the power to decide whether or not D”
